Make your take
In context
PelisseroTonight's game against the Saints, I think, was about as efficient if we've seen him play. But it just seems like having him there has unlocked everything else. And they look like a real team that you've got to at least talk about in the playoff conversation.
PelisseroYeah,
Kapadiadifferent doesn't feel strong enough. I mean, it's a reminder of how quickly things can change. Those first two weeks were two of the worst offensive performances by any team in games this season. The last two weeks have literally been top 10 performances league -wide for any offense in a game this season. They look unstoppable.
KapadiaI mean, when they don't score, it's almost been a surprise these last two weeks. So I was making jokes about Arch Manning wanting to play for the Falcons maybe next year, two weeks ago. and now I sort of think that the Falcons are the favorites in the NFC South. So yes, things can change quickly.
KapadiaIt's only week four. Things will change by week six, week eight, week 10, and so on. But for no team more so than the Falcons in the first month of the season.
KapadiaYeah, we were
Giljoking for weeks how this is a team that could be getting arch and solving their quarterback problem. And it seems like they had their solution the whole time. They've had their quarterback. It's Michael Penix. And he just wasn't, he wasn't well. But now he is well. and they'd look like a totally different team.
